In anything you do, if you want to improve or even just maintain your current level, you have to exercise. The harder you work the bigger the pay off.
That said, in addition to the art I do for me, I’ve made it a point to spend a significant amount of time daily studying/drawing. People, animals, landscapes, right now mostly anything organic. I wont upload all those sketches that’d be a little overwhelming, and besides they are just practice but heres a sample of some of the figure drawing I’ve done lately.
Combination of 5-20 min sketches
Figure drawing is one of those things I feel you can never get enough of, but once you’re out of school, its hard to do. Some areas will have local art classes you can sign up for, and for others your only option may be hiring a model yourself (or with a group) or convincing someone close to be your model.
A friend of mine, a fellow artist, recently introduced this website to me. While the real thing is always preferable this is a wonderful tool for those who don’t have access to live models. It’s set up to help with timed figure drawing. Be sure to check it out!
